“Anytime you can go into battle with the guys you’re training with
every day, it’s going to be more of a quality camp, I’d say, just
because everyone’s kind of peaking. We’re always going to be there
for each other, but there’s a 100-percent difference between
training for a fight and not. If these guys are fighting, they
might say, ‘Hey, I need you for a sparring session,’ and I hop out
of my bed at noon and drink some coffee and eat a few donuts and go
to practice because T.J. needs me or Chad needs me. There’s just a
certain intensity that’s brought to practice every day when
everyone’s peaking and has the same goal on the same day.”
